Families!!!!!

[Indiana91]

Moms came home from work and is in a strop because the dog hadn't been taken out for a walk today.

It's usually my job to take her out, which I do every day.

Last night my bloods were really high and every hour I was waking up needing the loo so obviously, I didn't get much sleep so haven't felt good today.

I haven't had the energy to take the dog out today, or to do many other things either!

She seems to forget that I also have a sister that could have taken her out too!

I'm sorry that my diabetes and feeling rubbish causes such an issue for her!!!
How terrible it must he for her to have to live her life like that and walk her own dog!!!!!

Angry, frustrated & tired Indiana x

Haha thanks!
She's been out now, mom took her.
I barely even live here anymore, why should it be left to me!

I wouldn't want to choose a different mom, I just wish she'd understand a bit more.

Indiana, you're not one of my sons writing under a pseudonym, are you?

Or could it possibly be I'm not the only stroppy mum when it comes to dog-walking?

Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Haha! I can safely say that I am not one of your sons

I can understand that it must be frustrated that she hasn't been out, it would just be nice if she understood where I was coming from. She's okay now anyway

As a diabetic owner of two dogs (plus one foster) I know how hard it can be to drag yourself out the door when diabetes is making you feel ******. But I always feel better for it afterwards and glad I gave myself the push. Besides, their wellbeing is my responsibility and my sanity too.... If they don't get walked I soon know about it as they have too much pent up energy in the house.

As a mum I know how infuriating it can be when your kids don't appear to be pulling their weight.

You both have my sympathy.

Perhaps chat to your mum at a better time, when things aren't so heated, to explain how your blood sugars can make you feel. It may help her be more understanding of the issues.

She's okay about it now. I did do other jobs like the washing, ironing I vacuumed the house and got dinner started I just didn't have the energy to walk the dog the mile we usually walk.

She's okay about it now, I think she realised in the end that I wasn't feeling well

I have a dog. Although I may feel lousy I always take him out. The exercise and fresh air is nice when you get going! Plus if he isn't walked on his normal schedule he is THE DEVIL. It's not worth my sanity to skip it lol

Haha! She's got bad hips and she struggles to walk much further.

She will be taken out today, it was just a one off!

I understand completely how you feel and being an only child I never had anyone else to blame!
